Great Pumpkin Cookies This is a very old cookie recipe that I began baking for my kids when they were very young. It’s one of my favorites from my autumn baking collection. We always like to decorate these cookies with candy corn and cookie icing. Be creative! 2 Cups Flour […]

“Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things” by Josh Taylor
Kelli and I love grocery shopping together. Maybe it’s the fact we were both initially so nervous about being the sole shoppers for our new home, with no experienced mothers in the mix to keep things on the rails. Or maybe it’s just that we’re enjoying getting good at it. […]
“Thank God for ‘Fridays'” by John DiBiase
One of the downsides of having a newborn around all the time now is… it’s tough to go out. Amy and I were once the kind of couple that would often dash out to the movies or to dinner on a whim. We both work a lot, so it’s often […]
“Flashback: This Really was My Last Meal.” by Amy DiBiase
I think it is just too crazy to think about how much emphasis I put on food throughout my pregnancy … especially as I came close to the end. I became preoccupied with how much false labor I experienced, to the point where I would focus on practically every meal […]
“Flasback: Off to the Hospital. First Triage?” by Amy DiBiase

“That Our Home May Be a Praise” by Josh Taylor
I absolutely love my parents’ home. It was mine too for eighteen or so years. Let me tell you a little about it. The home actually starts on the front lawn. Back in the day, that’s where all the neighborhood kids knew the best game of touch football could be […]
We Recommend: Third Day, “Southern Tracks”
As Third Day gets ready to release a new album next week (titled Move — we recommend it as well!), it’s tough not to look back over what the band has created since their 1996 debut. But in 1999, the band released a more rootsy album titled Time, leaving behind a lot of […]
“Flashback: Off to the Hospital (AKA Welcome to the World, William)” by John DiBiase
As we adjust to having a cranky, insatiable miniature person in our home, I though I’d revisit last week’s events that led up to Will’s big entrance. This is the untold story. Last Thursday night, Sept. 30, Amy had been struggling with more intense contractions than usual and decided to […]
